    Why should you have a replacement boater card?

    Boaters often get multiple cards in case one goes missing or for convenience reasons. For example, they keep one in their boat at all times, one in their wallet and another in the house or cottage.

    Here are some good reasons to keep an extra boater card:

    • Having a spare card handy in case you lose your boating license again
    • Keeping a card in your vehicle in case you visit someone else’s cottage
    • Keeping a card in all of your boats
    • Keeping a card in your tackle box
    • You must have your card on board at all times when you are driving a motorized boat

    Lost your boater’s license? Avoid getting fined!

    Did you know that having an official Pleasure Craft Operator Card on board your boat is required at all times or you could face a $250 fine? Printouts of your Operator Card are not accepted as legal evidence of competency. Boat license cards issued by the National Boating Safety School are accepted everywhere in Canada, ensuring you don’t run the risk of a penalty for a lost license.

    How to keep your Pleasure Craft Operator Card safe
